ADYICE TO STEANGERS. 



Almost daily persons are robbed by the 
various "confidence games," by lending 
money on checks, or bonds, or notes on 
prominent citizens — ostensibly because "it's 
after bank-hours," but really because the 
holders want to swindle by converting some- 
thing worthless into greenbacks. Beware 
of everything of the kind. 

Keep away from Gambling Dens, unless 
you have money to throw away. 

Beware of new acquaintances who mani- 
fest so much interest as to "treat" often, 
and are anxious to show you places and 
objects of interest. Look out for such accom- 
plished sharpers. 

Hundreds are daily deceived and over- 
charged by unscrupulous Hackmen. We 
have published the law in reference to 
Hacks and Carriages among the following 
pages of this work. The "Rules and Regula- 
tions" should be found in every Hack, accord- 
ing to law, therefore make no bargain in 
advance. If over-charged, any policeman is 
bound to set the matter right. 

Pickpockets are found among crowds 
around the doors of places of amusement and 
railroad-cars.- Be on your guard for these 
expert thieves, who appear like gentlemen.

CITY or BALTIMORE, 



BALTIMORE, 



THE City of Baltimore, the Metropolis of 
the State of Maiyland. the third Commer- 
cial City, and fonrth in population of the 
United States, is conspienons, as well for the 
rapidity of its growth as for its present splen- 
dor and prosperity. It is imposin^y situated 
on the Patapsco Biver. twelve miles firom its 
entrance into the Chesapeake Bay. and about 
two hundred miles, by these waters, from the 
sea. It is admirably situate"! both for foreign 
and domestic eommerc*e, being in a central 
position on the Atlantic coast, on a magnifi- 
cent sheet of water, deep throughout its 
entire extent, and navigable for vessels of 
the largest size. Built, as it is, upon hill- 
slopes and terraces, its appearance is perhaps 
more picturesque and pleasant than that of 
any other city in the "Cnion. 
23 



GUIDE TO BALTIMORE. 

The limits of the city comprise about twelve 
square miles, bounded on the north, east, and 
west, by broad straight avenues, and on the 
south by the Patapsco River, whose branches 
make deep indentations into the land. The 
harbor is about three miles in length. The 
inn-^T bay or basin extends up to the busi- 
ness portion of the city, and admits vessels 
of light draught, while the lower harbor has 
a depth sufficient for the largest ships. 

A stream of water called Jones' Falls passes 
i;hrough the cit}^ from north to south, empty- 
ing into the harbor or north-west branch, at 
the city dock, and dividing the city into two 
l^ortions. The streets are generally at right 
angles, running from east to west and from 
north to south. 

Baltimore street is the great central thor- 
oughfare, running east and west, and is the 
fashionable promenade, and the seat of much 
of the retail and jobbing trade. It is num- 
bered in both directions from the Falls, as 
are the other streets running parallel with 
it. The prefixes east and west are given to 
those streets on either side of the Falls, and 
thus the direction of the numbering is indi- 
cated. The central street running north and 
south is Charles street. Streets running in 
this direction are named and numbered each

way from their intersection with Baltimore 
street, as North Charles street, South Charles 
street, etc. 

The first settler upon the present site of 
Baltimore was David Jones, after whom the 
stream called Jones' Falls is named. He 
built a house upon the land he had purchased 
around the head of the basin in 1682. In 
1729 an act of assembly was passed for " erect- 
ing a town on the north side of the Patapsco, 
in Baltimore County." In January 1730 the 
town was surveyed off into lots, and the 
name Baltimore given it in honor of Lord 
Baltimore. In 1780 it became a port of 
entry, with the accompaniments of custom 
house, naval officers, etc. In 1782 the first 
pavements were laid on Baltimore street, the 
chief avenue of the city at that period, as at 
the present time. In the same year the first 
regular communication with Philadelphia was 
established through a line of stage-coaches, 
which continued up to the year, 1838, when 
the Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore 
Kailroad was completed. The corporate char- 
acter of the city began in 1797, when the popu- 
lation was about 17,000. Since that time its 
history has been that of a constant growth in 
population and wealth. 
■ During the Eevolution, Baltimore took an

active and important part in the great strug- 
gle, furnishing soldiers, money, &c., and using 
her influence in every practicable way in 
behalf of national independence; but no im- 
portant military operations took place here. 
During the late war she furnished men and 
money for both North and South, and within 
her borders were enacted scenes which are 
familiar to all. April 19, 1861, the 6th Eegi- 
ment Massachusetts Yolunteers, on their way 
to Washington, were attacked in Pratt street, 
by a mob, and a number killed and wounded. 
Federal Hill was occupied May 13, same year, 
by 1,500 United States troops under General 
Butler, and the Exchange and several other 
public places were occupied June 27, by Gen- 
eral Banks with a similar force. June 29, 

1863, the streets of the city were barricaded, 
and there was great excitement, in anticipa- 
tion of a Southern cavalry raid; also in July, 

1864, there was great alarm in consequence 
of the approach near the city of a Confeder- 
ate force. 

Although the city, occupying a middle 
ground between the North and South, was so 
unfortunate as to be made the theatre for 
the shedding of the first blood in defence of 
the Union, it was saved from the fate which 
befell many other cities, and has come forth

from the conflict with high hopes and great 
promise of abundant prosperity in the future. 

The two great staple articles of trade for 
Baltimore are flour and tobacco, and it is 
the greatest market for these articles in the 
United States, if not in the world. 

About one million barrels of wheat flour 
and upwards of sixty thousand hogsheads 
of tobacco are annually inspected here. 

A large amount of bituminous coal is 
brought here from the Cumberland mines in 
the western part of the State, amounting in 
some years to a million tons. 

Baltimore has become one of the leading 
copper markets of the country, one company 
alone producing annually upwards of 6,000,- 
000 pounds of refined copper. 

The oyster-packing business has also at- 
tained large proportions. There are twenty- 
seven establishments devoted exclusively to 
the packing business. The oysters of the 
Chesapeake Bay are highly esteemed all 
over the country, and it is hardly possible to 
supply the demand for them. 

Ship-building is one of the heaviest branches 
of business carried on. The principal ship- 
yards are located at Fell's Point, or in that 
neighborhood, where the water has the neces- 
sary depth, and from them have been launched

some of the finest and fleetest American ships* 
The name "Baltimore Clipper" is synony- 
mous, throughout the world, with all that is 
beautiful in naval architecture, and perfect 
in the requirements of a staunch and well-ap- 
pointed vessel. 

The quantity of lumber received here is 
almost incredible in amount. About 1,000,- 
000,000 feet come annually from the Eastern 
States alone. 

The manufacture of agricultural imple- 
ments is very large and promises to become 
one of the leading pursuits of the city. Cloth- 
ing is manufactured extensively, and the 
value of its annual product is only excelled 
by that of the flouring mills. Sugar-refining 
is a business of recent but rapid growth, 
about a thousand barrels of refined sugar are 
manufactured daily. Cotton and woollen 
goods, earthenware, hats and caps, glassware 
and furniture are manufactured to a con. 
siderable extent. 

The shipping owned here is nearly 200,000 
tons, and the foreign commerce amounts to 
upwards of $20,000,000 annually. 

The humane and benevolent institutions 
in the city, of which there are many, may be 
found properly noted in the succeeding pages 
of this work.

GUIDE TO BALTIMORE. 

Baltimore has received the name "Monu- 
mental City" from its several very graceful 
and handsome monuments which adorn vari- 
ous parts of the place. 

There are about 50,000 houses within the 
city limits. The value of real and personal 
property amounts to about $225,000,000. 

It is always interesting to a stranger to 
notice the names of the streets of a city 
which he visits for the first time. We will 
therefore give a few of the quaint ones. 

The city boasts of a Shakspeare, a Pulaski, 
a Burke, a Clay, a Grant, a Lee, a Douglass, 
a Fremont, a Scott, and a Johnson street. 
Local history is commemorated in Jones, 
Moale, McKim, McDonogh, Gwynn, Howard, 
Philpot, Carroll, Fell, and Calvert; general 
history, in Cromwell, Jefferson, Decatur, St. 
Paul, Penn, Davis, Montgomery, Madison 
and Ostend. There is also a Smallwood 
street, a Cheapside and a Choptank street, 
an Orange and a Lemon, a Short and a Sharp, 
a Kock and a Gunpowder, a French and a 
German, a Hill and a Yalley, an Eagle and a 
Hawk, a Water and a Bath, a Spring and a 
Fall, a Sarah Ann and an Alice Anna, a 
Smith and a Jones, a Concord and a Har- 
mony, a Church and a Chapel. There is

also a Neighbor street, a Wagon Alley, and a 
Lovely Lane. 

The natural advantages of Baltimore, to- 
gether with the energy and perseverance of 
her citizens, have been the cause of the city's 
growth and prosperity. The following table 
will show at a glance its growth since the 
town was laid out in 1730.

GUIDE TO BALTIMORE. 

quent and unexampled exercise has excited 
the admiration of the world. Mr. George 
Peabody was born in Massachusetts, but 
resided for many years in Baltimore, where 
he laid the foundation of that immense 
wealth which he is now so wisely devoting, 
during his own lifetime, to the improvement 
of the condition, physical and mental, of his 
fellow-men, and in such a way that it will 
be most wisely felt to the remotest periods 
of time. In 1857 he announced his intention 
to contribute several hundred thousand dol- 
lars to the founding of an Institute in Balti- 
more, for the encouragement of art, science, 
and general knowledge. The design com- 
prises a Free Library of books of the best 
authors, to be more extensive than any other 
library south of New York ; Lectures, Con- 
certs, and a school of Design, at the lowest 
cost of production ; Galleries of Painting and 
Sculpture, and such other features as are 
requisite for a complete institution of the 
kind. 

The main building, located on the corner 
of Monument and Charles street, opposite 
the Washington Monument, is built of brick 
and marble, and is 145 feet in length and 71 
feet in width. It contains the handsomest 
and most convenient hall for lectures and 
3& 



GUIDE TO BALTIMORE. 

concerts in the city, furnished with modern 
seats, and having a capacity for nearly 2,000 
persons. The library room, immediately over 
the hall, is about 100 feet long and 30 feet 
wide, with sufficient room for 75,000 volumes. 
There are at present about 30,000 books 
upon its shelves. This building cost $170,000 
and the grounds $106,000. It was com- 
menced in 1858, and completed in 1861. Mr. 
Peabody was present at the opening of the 
library room in 1866. The design of the 
founder contemplates the erection of another 
building on the east, of equal size. 

One million dollars has been donated by 
Mr. Peabody for the purpose of erecting 
these buildings, purchasing books, and main- 
taining the institution in all its departments. 

The building is open to all daily (except 
Sunday), from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., during the 
Summer, and from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., during 
the winter. 



THE MARYLAND INSTITUTE, 

For the promotion of the Mechanic arts, 

occupies one of the largest buildings in the 

city, situated on Baltimore street near Jones' 

Falls. The building is of brick and has a 

39 



GUIDE TO BALTIMORE. 

front of 60 feet, with a depth of 355 feet 
The ground floor is occupied as a market, 
and extends the whole length of the building. 
The main hall on the second floor is 260 feet 
long. The annual Mechanics' Fair is held 
in this hall in the month of October, and is 
the occasion of a great gathering of visitors 
in Baltimore. The hall is one of the finest 
in the country, and will accommodate about 
5,000 persons. 

The entire building cost $100,000, and was 
erected in 1854. Attached to the Institute 
is a school of Design, also a fine library con- 
taining some 17,000 volumes which is accessi- 
ble to all members from 9 a. m. to 9 p. m. 
Lectures on various subjects are given during 
the winter months. There are about 3,000 
members male and female connected with the 
Institute. 



WASHINGTON MONUMENT. 

Chief among the structures of this kind, 
from which Baltimore has won the name of 
the Monumental City, is a very graceful 
work standing upon a terrace 100 feet above 
tide water, in Mount Vernon Place, at the 
intersection of Charles and Monument streets.

Its base is 50 feet square, and 20 feet high, 
supporting a doric column 176^ feet, which is 
still surmounted by a colossal statue of Wash- 
ington, 16 feet high, giving it a total elevation 
of 312j feet above the level of the river. It 
Is built of white marble, lined with brick, and 
cost $200,000. The shaft is 20 feet in diame- 
ter at the base, and 14 feet at the top, and 
may be ascended by means of a circular stair- 
case, containing 228 steps. There are inscrip- 
tions upon the four sides of the base, indicat- 
ing the most important events in the life of 
"Washington. The corner-stone was laid 
July 4, 1816, and the statue placed in posi- 
tion October 19, 1830. From the top a most 
magnificent view of the city and surroundings 
may be had. 

Visitors can ascend the monument any 
time during week-days from 7 a. m. to 7 p. m. 
by paying fifteen cents. The Charles street 
cars, starting from North and Baltimore 
streets, run within a short distance of the 
monument. 

The Battle Monument, 

Erected by the City Government, in 1815, 
to the memory of those who fell while defend-

42 



GUIDE TO BALTIMORE. 

September 12, 1814. It consists of a square 
base or socle, on which rests a pedestal, orna 
mented in each corner with a beautiful carved 
griffin, and from the centre rises a facial 
column ; on the bands encircling which are 
inscribed, in sculptured letters, the names of 
those whose patriotic achievements it serves 
to commemorate. This column is surmounted 
by a superb statue, representing the Genius 
of Baltimore, holding a laurel or triumphal 
crown in her right hand, and an antique 
helm in her left, emblematic of commerce, 
having an eagle, bomb-shell, &c., at her side. 
The monument is of white marble, 45 feet 
high, and the statue 7^ feet, forming, together 
with the appropriate facial railing surround- 
ing it, one of the finest specimens of art any- 
where to be met with. It is built on an emi- 
nence of 35 feet above tide-water in the 
oblong square, at the head of North Calvert 
street, extending from Fayette to Lexington 
streets. It is in the immediate vicinity of 
Barnum's, Gilmor's, and Guy's Hotels. 

Odd Fellows' or Wildey Monument. 

This rather novel structure is situated on 

Broadway, above Baltimore street, on an

GUIDE TO BALTIMORE. 

great distance. It was erected in honor of 
Thomas Wildey, who founded the Independ- 
ent Order of Odd Fellows' in America, April 
26, 1819, and is intended, by its symbolical 
carvings and inscriptions, to commemorate 
the character and history of the Order in this 
country. 

The design comprises a granite base ten 
feet square, whose diagonals or corners range 
with the cardinal points of the compass. 
Upon this base is another white marble base, 
on which is a pedestal supporting a Grecian 
Doric Column, surmounted by a life-size 
figure of Charity. 

The entablature, pedestal and base of the 
column are adorned with emblematical carv- 
ings and inscriptions. The entire height of 
the monument is 52 feet, and its cost was 
about $18,000, The site was given by the 
city of Baltimore, and the Monument dedica- 
ted April 26, 1865. Visitors may reach it by 
taking the Madison avenue cars running east 
and stopping at Broadway and Baltimore 
streets. 

The McDonogh Monument 

Stands in Greenmount Cemetery in the 
northern part of the city. 
44 



GUIDE TO BALTIMORE. 

John McDonogh was born in Baltimore 
December 29, 1779, but spent the greater 
part of his life in New Orleans. He was 
very successful in all his pursuits in life, and, 
at his death in 1850, left an immense fortune, 
amounting to several millions, to the cities 
of New Orleans and Baltimore, to be devoted 
to the education of poor children, and for 
other benevolent purposes. 

The statue, which is much larger than life, 
is located upon an elevated portion of the 
Cemetery. The Monument consists of a 
massive granite base, supporting a marble 
pedestal, fourteen feet high, upon which the 
statue rests, which is said to be a very cor- 
rect representation of the man. Upon two 
sides of the pedestal are carved rules for the 
guidance of his life, written by himself, when 
he was twenty-five years of age, which we 
trust every visitor will carefully read, and 
profit thereby. 



THE WATER WORKS. 

Baltimore is principally supplied with water 

from Jones' Falls. The Old Water Company 

was established in 1804, and water conveyed 

through the city in 1807. In 1854 this com- 

45 



GUIDE TO BALTIMORE. 

pany sold its entire rights and properties to 
the city for $1,350,000. New Works were 
commenced in 1858, greatly increasing the 
capacity and extent of the old ones. 

Swan Lake, 

Which derives its name from Governor 
Thomas Swan, former Mayor of the City, is 
an artificial reservoir formed at the head of 
Jones' Falls, near the Eelay House, on the 
west side of the Northern Central Eailway, 
about eight miles from the City. It covers 
116 acres, is 225 feet above tide-water, and 
contains about 500,000,000 gallons. The dam 
by which this lake is created is immensely 
strong and durable. It is built of stone, 120 
feet in length, 60 feet in thickness at the 
bottom, and 40 feet high, costing $150,000. 

We would suggest to the stranger a visit 
to this lake, which will prove very pleasant, 
the drive being up the picturesque valley of 
Jones' Falls. 

From the lake a brick conduit or aque- 
duct conveys the water to 



Hamden Reservoir, 

A smaller basin, situated at the Falls road, 
46 



GUIDE TO BALTIMORE. 

near Hamden, opposite the Druid Hill Park. 
It contains eight acres, is 217 feet higher 
than tide-water, holds some 50,000,000 gal- 
lons, and cost about $200,000. From this 
reservoir pipes extend across the Falls and 
along the Kailway to 



Mount Royal Reservoir, 

Located on North Avenue, overlooking 
the city and bay. The scenery in this vicin- 
ity is very beautiful. The reservoir is cir- 
cular in form, its diameter 550 feet, with an 
area of five acres, and a capacity for 30,000,- 
000 gallons. From this reservoir the distri- 
bution pipes extend throughout the city. 
These Water Works cost, including the 160 
miles of pipes, about $3,500,000, . 



Lake Ghapman. 

In order to render the supply of water to 
the city still more abundant and secure, and 
at the same time to increase the beauties and 
attractions of Druid Hill Park, the city au- 
thorities purchased the tract south of the 
Park, and by building a dam 750 feet long 
47 



GUIDE TO BALTIMORE. 

this lake has been formed, containing 55 
acres. The dam is 119 feet deep in the centre, 
520 feet wide at the broadest part of the base, 
and 40 feet wide on the top. It is estimated 
that the reservoir will contain 600,000,000 
gallons, or enough to supply the city at the 
rate of 100,000,000 gallons daily. 



FEDERAL HILL. 

We would recommend to the stranger a 
visit to Federal Hill, situate on the South 
side of the basin, in order to obtain an exten- 
sive view of the city and surrounding coun- 
try. There is a telegraph tower on the Hill, 
from which the view may be had. 

This place was occupied by General Butler 
with a force of United States Volunteers, 
May 13, 1861. A fort consisting of earth 
works was erected by the 5th Eegiment 
New York Yolunteera, under Colonel War- 
ren, a portion of which still remains as 
an object of interest to those familiar with 
the occupation of our city by the Union 
Army. 

This interesting spot may be reached by 
going up Light street from Baltimore. 
48 



GUIDE TO BALTIMORE. 

Fort Mc Henry. 

This Fort which gained additional noto- 
riety during the recent war, as the receptacle 
for State prisoners, situated on the extreme 
end of Whetstone Point, about three miles 
from the Exchange, and the associations 
connected with the war of 1814, when it suc- 
cessfully resisted a bombardment by the 
British for twenty-four hours, renders it an 
interesting place to visit. 

It was during its bombardment, that the 
well known national song of "the Star-Span- 
gled Banner," was composed by Francis S. Key, 
then a prisoner on one of the British Ships. 

The Fort, which was named after an early 
citizen of Baltimore, belongs to the General 
Government, which keeps there several com- 
panies of soldiers. It is strongly built on a 
judicious and regular plan, and the ground 
attached thereto laid out in a tasteful manner. 

By reference to the map the location of 
the Fort may be seen, which can only be 
reached by private conveyance or on foot, as 
no street cars run near it. 

DRUID HILL PARK 

Is situated about one-third of a mile north 
of the city limits, between the Northern 
49 



GUIDE TO BALTIMORE. 

Central Kailway on the East and the Ecis- 
terstown road on the West, and the Wood- 
bury road on the North. It contains 500 
acres, and was purchased in 1860 by the 
city of Baltimore, at a cost of $500,000. 

It occupies the highest point of land in the 
immediate vicinity of the city, and from its 
principal eminences commands magnificent 
views of the city, harbor, and bay beyond 
for many miles up and down. 

It was before its purchase, in the posses- 
sion of the Koger's family for a century and 
a half, during which the skilful arrange- 
ments of some early proprietor have been 
carefully maintained, so that wherever de- 
tached masses, groups and clumps of trees 
are scattered over the grounds, they occur 
in just the position where they produce the 
best possible artistic effect. The trees are 
of primitive growth, and the greatest pos- 
sible variety of those indigenous to the 
climate. 

All about the beautiful lawn in front of the 
mansion, and stretching away across a wide 
expanse of meadow land, magnificent groups 
of trees are interspersed, and with such skill 
that in wandering among them the eye is 
led at every turn through a succession of 
long green vistas, until the view termintates

in the recesses of the skirting woodland. 
The groups themselves seem to have been 
left with an artistic reference to the best 
effects of form and color, which are known to 
the most skilful modern landscape gardeners- 
Many of the trees are of immense size. 
Some of the hickories measure nine feet in 
circumference at the height of five feet from 
the ground, and a grand old oak, at another 
place, measures fifteen feet in circumference, 
and overshadows an immense area with its 
extended limbs. 

In one of the fine valleys leading to Jones' 
Palls, there are hickories ninety feet in 
height, and ranging from eight to eleven 
feet in" circumference, and white-oaks of a 
corresponding size. These are, however, 
hardly to be considered as exceptional cases, 
as the whole domain abounds in trees of 
great magnitude. 

The mansion, nearly in the centre of the 
Park, is 326 feet above tide-water. A hill 
in the rear rises forty feet higher. Toward 
the South and East the ravines descending 
toward Jones' Falls form secluded valleys, 
generally densely wooded; while on the west 
the surface is a comj^aratively level plateau 
as far as the Reisterstown road, and descends 
toward the Woodbury mill road on the North. 
53 



GUIDE TO BALTIMORE. 

The arable land on the west and south-west 
was once an immense pear-orchard, number- 
ing, it is said, forty thousand trees. 

The springs in the Park are numerous 
and handsomely adorned. The mansion? 
with an extensive verandah on each side 
capable of holding four thousand people, is 
substantial and appropriate, and the walks 
and drives are ornamented in many places 
with rustic summer-houses, statues, vases, 
etc. Deer roam among the trees, and swan 
and other aquatic fowl swim in the lakes. 
These lakes afford a fine skating place in 
winter. 

The Park may be reached by the Madison 
Avenue line of cars, running up Baltimore 
street to Eutaw, &c. 



FRANKLIN SQUARE 
Is situated on high ground in the western 
part of the city, and contains about four 
acres. It is bounded, by Calhoun, Fayette 
Lexington and Carey streets. It is a very 
pleasant and cool retreat, being ornamented 
with trees, shrubbery, &c. The Aged Women's 
and Aged Men's Homes, and several prominent 
churches are in the immediate vicinity. The 
54

Franklin Square cars, going up Baltimore

Union Square. 

A quarter of a mile southwest from Frank- 
lin Square, is pleasantly situated Union 
Square, occupying the space bounded by 
Strieker, Lombard, Hollins and Wilmor 
streets. This is laid out similar to Franklin 
Square. It has the advantage of having a 
fine spring of running water within its enclos- 
ure. Can be reached same as Franklin 
Square. 

Lafayette Square 

Is on an eminence west of Fremont street 
and between Lanvale, Townsend, Kepublican 
and Oregan streets. 

Jackson Square. 

This Square, when properly improved, will 
be a most attractive spot, being situated 
upon a point which overlooks the entire city. 
It is bounded by Broadway, Fayette, Hamp- 
stead, and Durham streets. The Odd Fel- 
lows Monument is one of the attractions of 
the place. 

55

Patterson Square 

Is a large and handsome Square, between 
Baltimore, Gough, Gist and Luzerne streets, 
at the end of East Lombard street. It com- 
mands an extensive view of the city and bay 
and contains the remains of fortifications 
erected in 1814. 



MARYLAND PENITENTIARY. 

This is an extensive building of brick and 
stone, occupying the eastern part of the 
Square between Madison, Forest and Trux- 
ton streets. The prisoners are employed in 
the various mechanic arts. Labor is favor- 
able to order, discipline, instruction, reforma- 
tion, health and self-support. A visit to the 
work rooms, comprising shoemaking, cabinet- 
making, stone-cutting, hat-making, and other 
departments, generally pleases the visitors, 
and calls forth encomiums for the stillness, 
order, and cleanliness observed. 

Visitors can obtain tickets of admission at 
the Mayor's office, Holliday street. The 
York Avenue cars run within a square of it.

The County Jail 

Is separated from the Penitentiary by a 
wall twenty feet in height. It is a castel- 
lated structure of granite and marble. The 
central building is 404 feet long fronting on 
Barclay street. The whole buildings are 
ventilated in the most thorough manner, and 
are warmed, and lighted with gas. The 
buildings being of stone, the cell floors of 
stone or iron, the galleries and staircases of 
iron, and the doors and gratings of the same 
material, render the prison fire-proof in every 
part. There are about 300 cells, each eight 
by eleven feet. The Chapel will seat com- 
fortably over 400 persons. Permits to visit 
the Jail to be obtained from the city authori- 
ties, at the City Hall. 



The House of Refuge. 

Opened in 1855, is located near the Ellicott 
Mills Railway, a little bej^ond the Western 
boundary of the city. The Eefuge is for 
vagrant and vicious children of both sexes;

otherwise be -in the walks of vice and crime, 
the blessings of education and industry. 

About five hundred children can be accom- 
modated. The building is large and suitably 
fitted up for the jourpose in every respect. 
Visitors are admitted with permits, which 
may be obtained at the City Hall. To reach 
the Eefuge take the Franklin Square cars to 
Mount street, and connect with EUicott Mills 
Line. 

Manual Labor School. 

The objects of this institution are to res- 
cue from the ills and temptations of poverty 
and neglect, those who have been left with- 
out a parent's care, and to give them an edu- 
cation, and rear them to habits of industry. 

The school is situated about six miles 
from the city on the turnpike leading to 
Washington. Belonging to the institution 
are about 140 acres of land, which is kept 
under cultivation by the boys. The occupa- 
tions and employments of the boys vary 
with the season. In spring, summer, and 
autumn, the larger boys work upon the farm. 
In the winter season most of them attend 
school, where they are instructed in the 
learning usually taught in our common 
61 



GUIDE TO BALTIMORE. 

schools, and some of them are employed in 
making clothes and shoes for the institution. 
Boys are received from five to fifteen years 
of age, and are cared for until twenty-one j 
at that age each boy is given an outfit in 
clothing, and a small amount of money. The 
boys on the farm, as we observed, are all 
neatly clad, and appear to be as happy in 
their present situation as boys generally are 
under the paternal roof The school was 
organized in 1840, and has thus far proved 
a great blessing to those for whom it was 
originated. Visitors can gain admission on 
application at the farm. 



St. Mary's Industrial School 

For boys is situated on the Maiden Choice 
road, near the Frederick road, about three 
miles from the city. The buildings are of 
granite, four stories high, with a front of 
136 feet, and a depth of 66 feet. The grounds 
surrounding the institution consist of about 
100 acres, which were bequeathed by a benev- 
olent lady. The object of the institution is 
that of a protectory for boys rather than a 
reformatory — a school where they may be 
taught industry in connection with a sound 
62 



GUIDE TO BALTIMORE. 

English education. Everything in and about 
the establishment -indicates cleanliness, order 
and good management. The stranger in 
Baltimore will be amply paid by a visit to 
this most excellent school. 

Industrial School for Girls. 

The object of the above institution is for 
the care, reformation and instruction of such 
girls as are not admitted into either the House 
of Kefuge, the Home for the Friendless, or 
the Children's Aid Society, but who need the 
care of some reformatory institution. It is 
under the supervision of twenty-five direc- 
tors, who are chosen by the City Council and 
the annual subscribers to its funds. It is 
an institution accomplishing much good for 
those whom it is designed to reach. It pro- 
vides a home for the wayward and fallen — a 
home, where may be found affectionate words, 
earnest entreaty, and wholesome advice. 

The school is situated several miles from 
the city on the Baltimore and Ohio Eailroad. 

Home for the Friendless. 

This noble charity is located on the cor- 
ner of Druid Hill Avenue and Townsend 



GUIDE TO BALTIMORE. 

street. The average number ofinmates is about 
seventy-five. Poor women, as well as chil- 
dren, are given a temporary home until they 
can find employment. In onr visit to the 
Home, we were much gratified with the 
general appearance of the entire place. It 
is a model in point of judicious manasjement 
and practical benevolence. 

The institution is sustained entirely by 
voluntary contributions, and we would com- 
mend it to the consideration of the benevo- 
lent. Visitors kindly welcome at any time. 



Children's Aid Society. 

This organization occupies a plain brick 
building at No. 72 North Calvert street, near 
Pleasant. It was founded in 1860, and its 
object is to improve the condition of poor 
and destitute children of this city and State 
and especially by procuring them homes in 
the country. Boys between the ages of eight 
and fifteen, and girls between the ages of 
eight and thirteen, are received and cared for 
until suitable places are found for them. 
The agent of the society makes frequent 
visits to the country, for the purpose of tak- 
ing children, who have arrived at a proper 
64 



GUIDE TO BALTIMORE. 

age, to suit-able homes where they are trained 
to useful emj^loyments, and to become honor- 
able and v,^orthy members of society. Since 
1860 about eight hundred children have been, 
through its instrumentalitj^, placed in com- 
fortable homes. We would urge its claims 
upon the benevolent, and suggest to the 
stranger to pay a visit to the rooms of the 
society, where they will find a cordial welcome. 



Union Orphan Asylum. 

On the corner of Franklin and Schrceder 
streets, is situated a fine brick and wood struc- 
ture, surrounded by magnificent grounds, 
which are beautifully ornamented with trees 
and shrubbery, whose inmates are the or- 
phans of those who have fought and fallen 
in the late terrible conflict between the 
North and South. About eighty children are 
under its roof at the present time; all in 
fine spirits, who seem bound together by 
mutual ties, and live in the most beautiful 
simplicity and harmony of feeling. The 
Asylum was founded in 1865, by a few be- 
nevolent ladies of Baltimore, who, through 
City and State aid, together with the benevo- 
lence of our citizens, were enabled to pur- 
65 



GUIDE TO BALTIMORE. 

chase this lovely home for the little ones. 
The building and grounds cost about $57,000. 
There remains unpaid of that amount about 
$20,000. We would here present the needs 
of this most benevolent Institution, and trust 
it may receive that aid and sympathy of 
which it is worthy. A visit to the Asylum 
is extended to the citizens of Baltimore on 
Thursday afternoon ; strangers in the city 
are admitted any day except Sunday, from 
10 A.M. to 4 P.M. Take the Franklin Square 
cars, getting out at Baltimore and Schroeder 
streets. 

German Orphan Asylum. 

This humane institution is located at No. 
69 North Calvert street. It was organized 
in 1863, by members of the Trinity congrega- 
tion, and about two years ago was trans- 
ferred to a board of trustees, irrespective of 
any especial Church society, who purchased 
the three story brick building situated as 
above stated. The house can accommodate 
about 100 children. There are at present 
about fifty little orphans and half orphans 
under its roof. Children are received between 
the ages of two and ten years of age, and 
cared for until fourteen years of age, when 



GUIDE TO BALTIMORE. 

they are placed in good homes. The Asylum 
is designed more especially for German 
children. 

Visitors admitted on Thursdays, from 2 
to 5 p. M. 

The Baltimore Orphaoi Asylum 

Is a large and commodious building on 
Strieker street, near Lexington. It wag 
founded in 1801 for the maintainance of poor 
orphan children under nine years of age. 
About two hundred children are supported 
here. The Asylum is sustained by the con- 
tributions and yearly subscriptions of the 
benevolent and charitable people of Balti- 
more, through whose noble liberality it was 
established and thus far successfully main- 
tained. The amount of good that has been 
accomplished by this institution to unfortu- 
nate, friendless, and homeless children, can- 
not be estimated. Hundreds of little ones 
have been rescued from wretchedness, kindly 
cared for, and when arriving at a proper age 
provided with homes. Every sentiment of 
humanity appeals to the public to foster and 
amply support an institution that is so bene- 
ficient in its purpose. The Asylum is open 
to visitors on Thursdays and Fridays, from 
67 



GUIDE TO BALTIMORE. 

2 to 7 P.M. It may be reached by taking 
the Franklin Square line of cars on Baltimore 
street, stopping at Strieker street. 



Church Home and Infirmary. 

This is another one of those noble institu- 
tions with which our city abounds. It is 
under the care and management of the Sister- 
hood of the Good Shepherd, of the Episcopal 
Church. Patients are admitted without refer- 
ence to their religion ; but the Home, as its 
name imports, is a christian household, in 
which the service and other religious privi- 
leges are those of the Episcopal Church. It 
is a Home where the tender ministrations of 
loving hands, the wine and oil of spiritual 
consolation and refreshments, the healing 
influences of prayers and sacrament, and 
quickening and sanctifying truths are enjoyed, 
as well as every temporal appliance for the 
comfort and recovery of its inmates. It 
off'ers a refuge to those who can afford to pay 
for its comforts, as well as the pauper who 
has nothing to give in return. The Home is 
situated on Broadway, two squares North of 
Baltimore street; accessible by the Madison 
street line of cars, stopping at East Balti- 
68 



GUIDE TO BALTIMORE. 

more street and Broadway. Visitors, either 
to the institution or any of its inmates, will 
be admitted ever}^ day of the week (except 
Sunday), from 10 o'clock a. m. to 1 p. m. 



St. Vincent's Infant Asylum, 

Is under the care of the Sisters of Charity, 
and is situated on the corner of Townsend 
and Division streets. Visiting days, Mon- 
day and Thursday, from 1 to 5 p. m. 



St. Peter's Episcopal Orphan Asylum. 

This humane institution is situated on 
Madison Avenue north of McMechin street- 
It is managed by ladies connected with the 
Episcopal Churches of our city. The benevo- 
lence of the Christian appears truly in a work 
like this. Visitors admitted at any time. 



Aged Women's Home. 

One of the oldest, if not the very oldest of 
these institutions for ameliorating the con- 
dition of the poor, is the " Humane Impartial 
Society and Aged Women's Home," located 
on Lexington street, between Calhoun and 
69 



GUIDE TO BALTIMORE. 

Strieker. The object of the institution is to 
provide a home for indigent old ladies, free 
from want, and a christian burial when dead. 

One hundred and fifty dollars is charged 
as an entrance fee ; then they are provided 
for during life without any additional expense. 

The Home, a three-stOry brick building, 
well arranged for the comfort of its inmates, 
is capable of sheltering about sixty persons. 
It is always full, and usually from fifteen to 
twenty applicants waiting for vacancies. The 
institution is under the care of a board of 
lady managers, who are very attentive to the 
wants of their aged friends. 

Strangers will find it a pleasure to visit 
the Home. Franklin Square line of cars 
pass within a short distance of it. 



Aged Men's Home. 

No Institutions in the city are more ad- 
mired than this, and the last named one, 
which have for their object, the care of the 
poor. 

The Home is situated on the cornor of 
Lexington and Calhoun streets, immediately 
adjoining the Aged Women's Home. 

The same board of lady managers govern 
70 



GUIDE TO BALTIMORE. 

both Homes. There are at present about 
twenty-five aged men enjoying its comforts. 
Can accommodate about fifty. Visitors are 
always welcome. 



The Soldiers' Home, 
Is located on West Baltimore street, near 
East street. It was founded in 1865, for 
disabled and invalid soldiers, through the 
liberality of our citizens, aided by an appro- 
priation from the city, and a considerable 
amount from the Union Belief Association. 
It gives a home and shelter to all honorably 
discharged Maryland soldiers or sailors, who 
are unable by reason of wounds, or other 
disability, to support themselves. Visitors 
will find a welcome. 



The Boys* Home. 

Originated by the Young Men's Christian 
Association, is situated on North Calvert 
street. It is doing a great deal of good by 
extending a helping hand to the many boys 
who so much need it, that are now and have 
been living within its hospitable walls, earn- 
ing for themselves a livelihood, and slowly

INSTITUTION FOR THE INSTRUCTION OF 
THE BLIND. 

The charter for this most noble charity 
was obtained in May, 1854. It was located 
for a number of years at 258 Saratoga street. 
In April, 1868, it removed to its present 
magnificent quarters on North Avenue near 
Charles street. The building is of rough 
hewn native marble, with a front of 140 feet, 
and a depth of 60 feet, three stories with a 
Mansard roof There is also, on the north 
side, a wing 40 by 60 feet of equal height 
with the main building, with spacious porches 
at each story. There is gas and water on 
each floor, and each room is heated by steam. 
The building from its elevated position, 
presents a grand and imposing appearance, 
and, in an architectural point of view, is one 
of the most effective public buildings in or 
about Baltimore. There are three and a

half acres of ground surrounding the build- 
ing, which it is designed to properly orna- 
ment with trees, shrubbery and flowers. 
Cost of structure, including grounds, was about 
$150,000. 

There are at present forty pupils in the 
Institution, some of whom are employed in 
the various Mechanical departments. The 
amount of good done by this Institution to 
a deeply afflicted class, and to the community, 
by providing them the means of self-support, 
and relieving the public from an inevitable 
charge, commends it strongly to public favor. 
The pupils are instructed in the various 
branches pursued in our most favored aca- 
demies. Some of them become organists in 
churches, and teachers of music, and others 
sustain themselves by their skill in some 
useful handicraft. Strangers are kindly re- 
ceived at all times, on application to the 
Principal, Mr. F. D. Morrison, but the most 
interesting time of visiting is Thursday after- 
noon, from 3 to 6, during which time a con- 
cert is given. A small fee is then charged. 
Take the Charles street cars. 

MARYLAND HISTORICAL SOCIETY. 

About twenty-five years ago some eighteen 
74 



GUIDE TO BALTIMORE. 

gentlemen assembled in the old " Post Office 
Building," on the corner of Fayette and 
North streets, to organize the above named 
institution, for the purpose of collecting, pre- 
serving and diffusing information relating to 
the Civil, Natural and Literary History of the 
State of Maryland, and American History 
and Biography generally. 

The Society removed to its present build- 
ing, the Athenaeum, on the corner of St. 
Paul and Saratoga streets, in the spring of 
1848, and has continued to increase in mem- 
bers, interest and usefulness. 

The library, which numbers some sixteen 
thousand volumes, is very full and rich in 
everything pertaining to the history and 
antiquities of the country. The collection 
of pamphlets comprises many of the rarest 
character, and of the earliest dates in Ameri- 
can history. The collection of Manuscripts, 
Maps, Medals, Coins, Charts, Statuary, Por- 
traits and Pictures is very valuable, and it 
may be safely asserted that, with the excep- 
tion of the Massachusetts Historical Society, 
probably no other Historical Institution in 
the country has such varied and valuable col- 
lections as this Society. 

The Society have about four hundred active 
members. 

76 



GUIDE TO BALTIMORE. 

Its rooms are open every day, except Sun- 
day, from 10 A. M. to 3 p. m., when strangers

10 p. M. free to all. Every Saturday evening 
at 8 o'clock there is held a prayer meeting, to

organization is accomplishing a good work 
in improving the spiritual, mental and social 
condition of the young men of our city.

Calvert and Saratoga streets. The Society 
was founded in 1864, and has for its object 
what its title indicates. There are a large 
number of colored pupils in daily attendance, 
who are instructed in the various English 
branches, by white teachers. We believe 
that this organization has already accom- 
plished much good in the moral and intel- 
lectual elevation of those to whom it minis- 
ters. Visitors interested in this work will 
find a ready welcome at any time. 



Sociefy for Improviiig the Condition af 

the Poor. 

The above association was founded in 1849 
by a number of benevolent gentlemen of 
Baltimore. Its main object is to discounte- 
nance and discourage street begging, pau- 
perism and idleness. It aids the poor, but 
does not support them. ' There are many 
thousands of deserving poor in a large city 
like Baltimore, whose shrinking modesty 
prevents them from applying to the public 
at large or any benevolent association for 
assistance. It is such as these that are 
sought out by this Society and relieved as 
their necessities may require. We believe 
80 



GUIDE TO BALTIMORE. 

the Society is a faithful almoner of the money 
that is so freely and trustfully given it. 

Their rooms are situated on Fayette street, 
between Holliday and Gay, to which all are 
welcome. 



THE MARYLAND UNIVERSFTY, 

Is a school of Medicine, located at the cor- 
ner of Lombard and Green streets. The 
front of the building forms a handsome peri- 
style of eight columns of Grecian-Doric, in 
imitation of the Parthenon at Athens. The 
rotunda, which stands in the rear of this 
front, is a handsome structure. It has an 
amphitheatre of sixty feet diameter, capable 
of accommodating 1000 persons. Its faculty 
comprises the most eminent medical talent 
in the city. The library, philosophical and 
chemical apparatus, as well as the cabinet 
of anatomy, are not surpassed in the United 
States. The institution was incorporated 
in 1812; and being the property of the 
State, its affairs are managed by a board of 
trustees, of whom the Governor is president 
ex-officio. 

Baltimore Medical Institute 

Was established in 1839, by Dr. Dunbar, an 
81 



GUIDE TO BALTIMORE. 

eminent physician of this city. The college 
building is located at 151 Lombard street near 
Hanover, and is very well arranged for the 
purpose for which it is adapted. The Museum 
is an excellent one, being amply provided 
with materials for illustrating the various 
branches in medical science. In addition to 
the Osseous, Nervous, Vascular, Muscular, Lig- 
amentous and other preparations for anatom- 
ical demonstration, it also contains a large 
number of wet preparations relating to Pathol- 
ogy, Obstetrics, Surgery, &c., and an extensive 
collection of models in wood, plaster and wax, 
together with an ample series of paintings 
and engravings, representing healthy and 
morbid parts, fractures, dislocations, tumors, 
&c., and the Surgical operations necessary 
for their reUef. 

Washington Medical College. 

Another medical institution, under the 
above title, is situated on the corner of North 
Calvert and Saratoga streets. It has all the 
necessary professors and apparatus for in- 
struction ; the latter, however, less complete 
than the University. Lectures commence, 
last Monday of October and continue four 
months.

GUIDE TO BALTIMORE. 

Baltimore Infirmary. 

A large and commodious building under 
this name is attached to the University. It 
is situate a short distance from the college 
on the south side of Lombard street. The 
patients are attended by the faculty of the 
University, and nursed by the Sisters of 
Charity, so well known for their devoted- 
ness to their fellow creatures. The wards of 
the Infirmary constantly contain ample 
material for illustrating the various forms 
of disease, and are open at all times, to all 
Matriculates of the school without charge, thus 
forming a prominent and important element 
in the educational resources of the University. 



The College of Pharmacy, 

Located on the corner of Baltimore and 
Harrison streets, has been established for 
several years, for the following purposes : 
to direct attention to the qualities of articles 
brought into the Drug Market; to secure 
the discussion of subjects relating to the 
business, and communicate information bene- 
ficial and interesting to the trade, and also 
to create a School of Pharmacy in which 
83 



GUIDE TO BALTIMORE. 

lectures should be delivered, expressly for 
the instruction of Druggists and Apothecaries. 



The Union Protestant Infirmary 

Is situated on the corner of Mosher and 
Divison streets, surrounded with beautiful 
grounds. It is a handsome building, fitted 
up with modern conveniences, and constructed 
with express reference to the use to which it 
is applied. It is managed by an association 
of ladies, and receives patients for medical 
and surgical treatment, its avowed object 
being to furnish a Christian Asylum for the 
reception of the sick and suffering, where 
they may receive kind nursing and skilful 
medical treatment at reasonable rates, or 
gratuitously, as circumstances may require, 
and at the same time enjoy the reading of 
the Scripture and the consolations of Prot- 
estant religious instruction. All the different 
Protestant denominations are represented in 
the skilful and energetic board of Lady 
Managers. It is an institution that is at once 
an honor to the Church, an ornament to the 
city, and a benefit to the whole community. 
Visitors will find a welcome every day, 
from 10 A. M. to 5 p. M. The Madison avenue

The Hebrew Hospital, 

Opened in May, 1868, is situated on Monu- 
ment street near Broadway. The building 
is constructed of brick, three stories high 
with a cupola, and cost $75,000. It has 
accommodations for about 125 patients. Al- 
though it is under the care and management 
of the Hebrew people of the city, yet no 
creed or nation are excluded from its privi- 
leges. The extensive grounds surrounding 
the hospital, together with its high and 
healthy location, renders it an attractive 
place to those who are so unfortunate as to 
require a place within its Avails. 



Dispensaries. 

There are four of these valuable institu- 
tions in Baltimore, to dispense medicine, and 
medical advice to the poor, located as follows :

«7Jm,^*^^^ YORK LIFE INSIJRAXCE COM- 
PANY ORIGINATED ami INTRODUCED THE NEW FEATURE, 
known iis The Noii-Forloifure Plau, which is rapidly 
siipersedins the system of life-long pavment.x, ami which has been 
adopted (geneniUy in a less favorable fonn) by all Life Conipjinies; 
thus attesting tiie force of public opinion in favor of a system so 
favorable to policy holders as that established hu the NEIV YOJiK 
LIFE for the l>cntfit of its members. 

By this table the insuivr may cease pjiying at any time after two 
years, withont torteiture uf jvist premiums, and at the END OK TEX 
YEARS ALL PAYMENTS CEASE ENTIRELY, and the policy 
thencetorwarvl becomes a source of income to him. 

By the table on which this class of policies is K<i.sed. a person in- 
curs no risk in taking out a policy. Insuring to-dav for $10,000, if he 
should die tt>-morrow the $10,000 immediately beconies a claim; and 
it he should live ten years, and make ten annual payments, his policy 
is paid up — nothing more to pay, and still his dividends c<./i/i«j<e 
making HIS LIFE 1>0LICY a source of income to him lohile livinii. 

The only weighty argument offereil agjiinst Life Insurance is 
that a pjirty might pay in for a number of years, and then, by inad- 
vertence, inability. Ac, be unable to continue i);iying, thereby lo.sing 
all he had paid. The "New Vork Life'^ has obviated this objection 
by its TEN YEAR NON-FORFEITURE PLAN. A party, by this 
tiible, lifter the stniond year, caimot forfeit anv part of what has 
been paid ,n Thus, if one insuring by this plan for $10".000, discon- 
tinut^ after the second year, he is entitled to A PAID-UP POLICY 
according to the number of years piiid in, viz. : ' 

StcoHd year, tico tenths o/ $10,000, (omt ins\i), aiiMuitting to $2,000, with divi- 
dend on s,ime fur life. 

Third year, three tenths of $10,000 {am't wM'd), am»untina to $a,000, uith divi- 
dend on same for life. 

And SO on. until the tenth annual payment, when all is paid, and

NEWSPAPERS. 

The achievements of the last fifty years 
have been such that no local or temporary 
interest can satisfy the mind ; everything is 
conducted on a grand scale. The extension 
ef education, the progress of science, the 
facilities of communication and intercourse 
between nations, and above all, the freedom 
of the Press and its consequent wide and 
rapid circulation of news, has served to pro- 
duce this extent of thought and purfuse. In 
the United States the Press is supremely 
important. 

The activity and power of the newspaper 
Press of the United States date their origin 
from the Eevolutionary war. Previous to 
that event they were few in number, and 
barren of that interest, vigor and originality, 
so important a feature in those of the present 
day. Great Britian and the United Colonies 
having determined to settle their dispute by 
arms, both appealed to the people. Each 
had their partisans; but there were many 
independent or indifferent persons, whose

The only local Life Insurance Company in the State, and the 
only Company doing business in Maryland which has made

Endowments and Annuities. With those to whom it may be a mat- 
ter of accommodation, one third of the premium will be allowed to

The Company, now in its fourth year, has met with a degree of 
success beyond the most sanguine expectiitions of its projectors. 
Cautious in the selection of its risks, its proportion of losses has been 
remarkably Hmall, and the ratio of its JUisets to its liabilities is as 
large as that of any Company in the United States.

GREENMOUNT CEMETERY. 

This is the handsomest city of the dead 
that we have about Baltimore. It was origi- 
nally the country seat of Eobert Oliver, and 
contains about sixty acres, laid out and 
embellished in the most tasteful and appro- 
priate manner. The entrance is by an im- 
posing gateway of stone, having a front of 
eighty feet, with towers forty feet high. 

A beautiful chapel, built of brown stone, 
in the Gothic style, stands on a hill opposite 
the entrance. The cemetery is entirely sur- 
rounded by a stone wall, which cost $37,000. 

Many distinguished persons are buried in 
this cemetery, and there are numerous costly 
and beautifully sculptured monuments in 
various parts of the inclosure. Strangers 
may obtain admittance on application at the 
office, No. 1 Courtland street, or at the gate. 
The cemetery is situated on York Eoad and 
Hoffman street, and may be reached by the 
York Koad line of street cars.

Comprises one hundred acres, situated in 

the northeastern part of the city. It was 

opened in 1850, and since then very many

TO TRAVELLERS. 

1. Purchase your ticket previous to enter- 
ing the cars, thus saving yourself trouble. 
and a diJiie. 

2. Attend to checking your baggage, in 
person, before taking your seat in the car. 

3. Have regard for the rights of your 
fellow-travellers, thereby teaching them by 
example to respect yours. 

4. The fact of any article being deposited 
in. a seat is evidence of the seat having been 
taken. 

5. Always show your ticket (without get- 
ting in a bad humor) whenever the con- 
ductor asks for it. Observe this rule, and it 
will pay. 

6. Look out for your valise, carpet-bags, 
&c., (as professional thieves are always 
around,) especially when the cars stop at a 
dining-station. 

7. A gentleman or lady should not occupy 
more than one seat at a time. 

8. Ladies without escort in travelling 
should be very particular with whom they 
become acquainted. 

148 



GUIDE TO BALTIMORE. 

9. <' If your lips would save from slips, 

Five things observe with care : 

Of whom you speak — to whom you speak, — 

And how — and when — and where." 

10. Whenever you see a fellow over-anxious 
for your comfort, and pushing himself for- 
ward, saying, "Are you travelling alone ? " — 
"Allow me to," &c,, &c.— just say to him, 
" Thank you, sir. I require no assistance." 
E}^ observing this rule, ladies will often save 
themselves and others trouble. 

11. Never sit in a seat, in warm weather, 
with a man weighing 244 pounds. 

12. Never give information without being 
asked : then you will not be contradicted. 

13. Never let your valise, bag, coat, or any 
other article, occupy a seat when there is a 
rack for them. It looks bad for you to 
occupy a whole seat when there are passen- 
gers standing without seats. 

14. Never sit on the end of another per- 
son's seat with your back turned, talking to 
an opposite party ; it is disagreeable to the 
one whose seat you are thus obtruding your- 
self on. 

15. All railroad tickets are Good until 
USED — the conditions "good for this day 
only" being of no value, according to judi- 
cial decisions.

Baltimore and Ohio Railway. 

In extent, commercial importance, and 
pictorial attraction, this great route is one 
of the most important and interesting in 
America. It unites the city of Baltimore 
with the waters and valley of the Ohio, at 
Wheeling, 379 miles away, making one of 
the pleasantest and speediest of the great 
highways from the Atlantic to the Mississippi 
States. Its whole course is through a region 
of the most picturesque variety and beauty, 
and it is itself a work of the highest artistic 
achievement in the continual and extraordi- 
nary display of skill which the singular diffi- 
culties of the way have called forth. It 
claims, too, especial consideration, and reflects 
the greatest honor upon the State of Mary- 
land and its beautiful metropolis of Balti- 
more, as the first railway in America built 
by an incorporated company. 

The road was commenced at a very early 
151 



GUIDE TO BALTIMORE. 

period in the history of railways, July 4, 
1828. The trial of the first engine was made 
in August, 1830. On the 1st of June, 1853, 
the entire route was completed, and on the 
10th of January the following year, the road 
was formally opened. 

The depot of this road is situated on Camden 
street between Howard and Eutaw, 

From Baltimore to AVheeling, Ya., it makes 
the following connections : At "Washington 
Junction, with the Washington branch ; at 
Frederick Junction, with the Frederick 
Branch ; at Harper's Ferry, with the Win- 
chester and Potomac Eailway ; at Piedmont, 
with the Cumberland and Penna. Eailway ; 
at Grafton, Ohio, with the Parkersburg 
Branch ; at AYlieeling and Benwood, Va., 
with the Central Ohio Division, the Cleve- 
land and Pittsburg Eailway, and the Ohio 
Eiver steamboats.

HACKS AND CARRIAGES. 

For the benefit of strangers and others, 
we give the rates of fare in the city of Bal- 
timore, to be taken by or paid to the owner 
or driver of any licensed hack or carriage. 
We trust it will serve as a safeguard to 
strangers against the impositions frequently 
practised upon them by the drivers of these 
conveyances. The following rules and regu- 
lations were established by the Police Com- 
missioners, in 1865. Each hack-owner is re- 
quired to have these printed rules placed 
inside his carriage. 

158 



GUIDE TO BALTIMORE. 

Strangers will make no agreement in advance. 
No pay can he demanded if the Rules are not to 
he found inside the carriage. If they are there, 
pay no more than these rates call for. 

To or from any steamboat or railroad station, to any hotel or pri- 
vate residence, in any part of the city, one passenger, . $0.75 

For each additional passenger, 0.25 

For each trunk, box or bag, sufficiently large to be strapped on, 0.15 

No charge for parcels put in the carriage. 
From any one point within the city limits to another, one pas- 
senger, $0.75 

For each additional passenger, 0.25 

For carriage, with driver, one hour, .... 1,50 

For each additional hour, 1,00 

Same rates for all fractions of an hour, but no charge for less time

GUIDE TO BALTIMORE. 

STREETS AND NUMBERS. 

The principal streets running east and 
west are Baltimore, Lombard, and Pratt, and 
are numbered each way from Jones' Falls. 

The leading business streets running north 
and south, the dividing line being Baltimore 
Street, are Gay, Holliday, North, South, Cal- 
vert, Light, St. Paul, Charles, Hanover, 
Sharp, Howard, and Eutaw. By reference 
to the map accompanying this work, the lo- 
cation of any street may readily be found. 

JONES' FALLS, 

Named in honor of David Jones, the first 
settler upon the site of Baltimore, is a small 
tributary stream of the Patapsco Kiver, and 
divides the city east and west. Over it are 
thrown many beautiful iron bridges. In 
1837, as well as in the summer of 1868, there 
occurred a flood on the Falls which inun- 
dated a great portion of the adjoining pro- 
perty to the depth of from three to ten feet, 
and destroyed many millions' worth of pro- 
perty, and drowned about twenty-five per- 
sons at each event.

GUIDE TO BALTIMORE. 

the State to the Chesapeake Bay, which it 
enters, after passing Baltimore, about 12 miles 
below the city. It is navigable, as far as the 
city, for large merchant-vessels. It is a rapid 
stream, and is much utilized as a waterpower. 
The Baltimore and Ohio Eailway is built 
along the whole extent of the western branch 
of the river. 

CHESAPEAKE BAY. 

This is the great highway from Baltimore 
to the sea. It is the largest bay in the 
United States, its length being about two 
hundred miles, with a breadth varying from 
four to forty miles. Its depth permits the 
passage of the largest ships nearly to the 
mouth of the Susquehanna, at the upper ex- 
tremity. Its shores are profusely indented 
with arms or estuaries of the oddest shapes, 
and with the mouths of tributary rivers and 
creeks. The waters of the Chesapeake are 
the most famous resort in the United States 
for every species of aquatic game. Birds of 
all feathers are drawn hither in marvellous 
numbers by the abundance of food found on 
the great flats or shoals along the shores, and 
upon the river inlets. 

The voyage down the bay from Baltimore 
163 



GUIDE TO BALTIMORE. 

to Norfolk, at its lower extremity, is a pleas- 
ant journey. During the summer, steam- 
boats make the trip daily. The points of 
chief interest seen in the passage of the bay, 
are the embouchure of the Patapsco Eiver 
and the battle-ground of North Point; the 
Bodkin, three miles distant; the harbor of 
Annapolis, 15 miles still below, and, in the 
distance, the dome of the Capitol, at Wash- 
ington. At the lower end of the bay are 
the famous fortifications of Fortress Mon- 
roe and the flip E-aps, protecting the en- 
trance to Hampton Eoads and James Eiver. 



NORTH POINT. 

At the mouth of the Patapsco was the 
scene of a memorable battle, September 12th, 
1814, between the Americans and British, in 
which the former were defeated, and the lat- 
ter lost three commanders. On the follow- 
ing day, September 13th, Fort McHenry was 
bombarded for 24 hours by sixteen ships and 
a land force of 1200 men. The assailants 
were repulsed, and the fortress left in posses- 
sion of its defenders. 

This engagement at North Point and Fort 
McHenry is duly celebrated in Baltimore on 
164

each recurring anniversary, and the Battle 
Monument was erected in commemoration 
thereof. 

THE LAZARETTO AND QUARANTINE 
GROUNDS. 

This establishment is placed under the 
regulations of the Board of Health, to pre- 
vent the introduction of contagious diseases. 
All vessels from beyond the sea are detained 
at quarantine if the resident health officers 
tbink necessary. The Lazaretto, erected in 
1801, a large quadrangular brick building, 
with fine grounds attached, is located on the 
extreme southeastern limit of the city, oppo- 
site Fort McHenry. 

DRIVES AROUND BALTIMORE. 

Probably the pleasantest drive in the vi- 
cinity of the city is out to Druid Hill Park, 
of which mention is made elsewhere. Gov- 
anstown, four miles north of the city, and 
Towsontown, three miles still further, afford 
a quiet and agreeable retreat. To Franklin- 
town, on a branch of Gwyn's Falls, called 
Dead Run, about five miles from the Citj- 
Hall, is a rustic drive over a macadamized 
road. The scenery all along is remarkably

fine and picturesque. Catonsville and Elli- 
cott's Mills, the former six miles and the lat- 
ter ten, are situated in a southwesterly direc- 
tion from the city. The Thomas Yiaduct, a 
magnificent granite structure, on the railway 
leading to Washington, is nine miles from 
the city, and is an attractive place. The 
pretty village of Elkridge Landing is in 
sight, and upon the surrounding heights are 
seen a number of country seats belonging to 
men of business, who reside here during the 
summer, tempted by the beauty of the spot, 
and the facilities of access w^hich the railroad 
aifords.
